Hi efficient speaker, bass problems
Hello RoscoeiiiCould you tell us the speaker ? regards, 
Hi efficient speaker, bass problems
It was certainly the case for me that an Atma-sphere S-30 gave me much improved bass over the solid state amp (Pass Aleph 30) I had previously, which had a much higher damping factor. With my 96 dB efficient drivers in a ported box, the Aleph over... 
Hi efficient speaker, bass problems
Phase is audible in the bass region only to the extent that it impacts frequency response. So when you hear a difference after adjusting the relative phase of your subs, or their distance relative to the mains, what you are hearing is the effect o... 
Hi efficient speaker, bass problems
Hello Unsound , Are you talking acoustic or time , the rise time on a sealed cabinet is slower than that of a reflex, compare the square wave response.Now if running tubes, subjectively there is some argument, tubes have poor damping and hence ver... 
Hi efficient speaker, bass problems
Duke, Bass localization is detectable indoors, get the math wrong and you will know, phase is absolutely critical. regards, 
Hi efficient speaker, bass problems
Personally and absolutely speaking, I have never heard a sealed enclosure sound better than vented, now if you are running tube gear then there is some advantage in using a sealed enclosure. 
Hi efficient speaker, bass problems
Isn't Bose doing the same thing with his 901, he uses the walls to great effect. regards, 
Hi efficient speaker, bass problems
Duke , it does seem to me that you are discussing speakers designed for corner placement, if not how would this apply when speakers are setup and voiced away from the walls. regards,

01-27-11: Hi Unsound,Its all perception my friend.I think of low as 82 to 86mid as 87 to 91mid-high as 92 to 94high as 95 + -TimlubI would be in agreement here and efficiency mean different things to different topologies, a linesource for eg, 88 d... 
Hi efficient speaker, bass problems
Wes, absolutely! :-)The Aerials use a 10" woofer, and that damn port. The midbass has a 15" driver and the bass uses an 18" driver.I understand that field coil works the best down on the low side. Some say it is the best bass possible. I haven't b... 
Hi efficient speaker, bass problems
But more recently I have heard some field-coil powered 15" drivers that are even faster and more transparent, and cover the same range yet are more like 98 or 99 db -AtmasphereInteresting and thanks for the info and response Regards, 
Hi efficient speaker, bass problems
OK tim ... 
Hi efficient speaker, bass problems
Dan does your horn system have bigger woofers than your Aerial? 
Hi efficient speaker, bass problems
Atmasphere, I'm not disputing what you say about the TAD system, it is a multiple driver system not a 2 way, go back and look at my original response, i said the correct way is with a multi-driver system , no one driver is going to go from 30-500+... 
Hi efficient speaker, bass problems
Thanks Atmasphere and my original statement was that it would have to be a multiple driver system not a 2 way for it to work and have good bandwidth..regards,
